Forde Abbey

So to Forde Abbey today. The house wasn't open but I've been in before and the garden was my main driver.

I left my B&B in grey fog but it cleared up by the time I got to Forde and was just dull.

It was nice to see both swallows and House Martins. The Martins looked to be nesting. 

Forde is an Abbey that was converted to a house after the dissolution.

The sun came out after lunch and I REALLY ought to have retaken them but I was feeling lazy and spent more timing reading my book LOL
